I sell a pretty nice hot dog condiment tray over at HotDogProfits.com (in the accessories section), but it’s kind of pricey. $43.87 to be exact.
Here’s a great alternative…
HDCN reader Steven Pruner just alerted me to this condiment tray for $17.00 – WOW!

That’s a really great deal. Don’t snooze – you might lose.
Thanks again Steve P.

Bed, Bath, and Beyond also has a nice condiment tray for about $25.00. You can also put ice in it to keep things cool.http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=14111611
No size at the site and shipping is expensive (over $8.00) so no thanks.
I bought this condiment tray and it is quality. I would certainly buy it again or recommend it to anyone.
I have the same 6-compartment condiment tray pictured above, but I modified it to allow me to put it into the top portion of my built-in cooler which has a slide top lid. I riveted an aluminum angle iron about 6 inches long on each side, at a 30-45 degree angle so that when the condiment tray is seated at the top of my built-in cooler, it is angled easier for me to get the ingredients out. Plus, it just looks nicer, more custom. I’ve done several custom modifications/innovations to my cart that I am proud of. The angle irons, by the way, are to close up any gap where air/cold may leak out and it prevents the condiment tray from falling straight into the cooler. Oh, and the built-in cooler was completely removed, then I upgraded the foam insulation all around the outside of it, plus added two 12vDC mini fans (the kinds for desktop computers) inside for circulating the air more, thus keeping the cooler even colder than the ice alone will permit, and I also lined the inside with thermal bubble wrap material. My cooler stays really super cold with the ice and food (and a couple of beers underneath for cooking up my grilled onions, I don’t drink alcohol) and will last for 3 to 4 days EASILY in the hot weather.
I am thinking about winterizing my cart with MORE insulation throughout the entire interior of my cart too, and including around the five gallon fresh water tank that is in the cabinet on the top of my cart. I just need to drill out the rivets and take the cabinet apart, install the foam insulation, then put it back together. Ahhhh, stainless steel is such a pain to work with, but I want to continue slinging dogs even in the cold Colorado winters too, if possible.
The stainless steel cart that I am using currently, by the way, which I talk about above, was bought from someone on Craigslist for $1,500, after negotiating the price down. The more I took the cart apart, however, the more things I found myself wanting to upgrade or modify. My next cart will be custom-built by me from the frame up, rather than modifying an already-built cart that needed fixes and Health Dept. fixes too. I love my cart now though.
But, like Steve says in his Carts of Cash book, there are deals to be had everywhere from folks who failed in the hot dog cart business, but who could have been successful if they only had Steve’s course. Thanks, again, Steve!!
